Stan returns to his hometown after being gone for several months(years?) and finds his family in total ruin. All the people(the "heroes") that his family follow'd have let them down, while his hero(God) is still going strong with him.
This part is him confronting his parents/peers.
"You said I'd never make it
That I could only fail
But I'm the one who's standing
And what has happened to you?
Now that we're left here on our own
There's nowhere left to turn
He will see us through
Now that we say goodbye to you
We've started something new
Your heroes are dead, they're all in your head
When nothing is left we'll start again
Your heroes are gone, they left with the dawn
Now it's just us, we'll carry on "
